I'm not assuming anything about any other parts of their anatomy that would never appear onscreen.
Yes. Personally I deliberately and willfully make all sorts of assumptions - in fact, though I try to be well aware of the reality we see onscreen, and what is canon and what is not, as long as I am conversant with that and conform to it, I feel free to write the Doctor in the way I prefer. Which means with nice sexy human parts.
I have a thing against aliens who are unlike humans, so I interpret him as humanlike as much as is plausible. The Doctor's more human characteristics are central to his appeal for me. I wouldn't even watch the show if I couldn't think of him as being like a human.
I think the Donna I like best is the Donna she matured to be.
Yes. I loved her in... well, just about everything in series 4 up to the point where she turned into a Time Lord. Then she creeped me. And then... she was annoying, shallow, unspecial Donna again, with only the potential to be what she became under the influence of the Doctor. And I love the tragedy of that, but I regret it, too.
Maybe what human-Doctor said to Rose was, "Kiss me, and he'll be jealous."
